Location & Charm

What could be better than a charming house in a wonderful location? A fantastic combination, brought together by our newest addition to the Best of Suffolk website, Little Crofton.




With the added benefit of off-road parking on an enclosed driveway and a spacious patio garden, it is the perfect family holiday home. 


Little Crofton is close to the heart of Snape, which if you haven't heard of it is a wonderful tranquil village, perfect for walking and not too far from the seaside town of Aldeburgh. Snape Maltings is home to many renowned music concerts, boutique shops, farmers markets and also the Aldeburgh Festival. 


This is a real area of culture, and at Little Crofton you'll be in the ideal position to experience it and make the most of it.


Our favourite things about Little Crofton:

  • The location in Snape
  • The lovely patio garden & decking
  • The conservatory with dining table, perfectly positioned for sunny meals together.
  • The modern, homely decor of the interior.
  • The woodburner

A breath of fresh air...

... is how this cottage feels!




Today we are shooting the delightful Firethorn Cottage in Middleton, the conservatory doors are open and we have the table set for a dinner party...and the fire is just dying down...yes a Best of Suffolk photo shoot is a great way to really experience a house before we recommend it to our guests.

This house really is special, its a one off architectural design sleeping 8 people in considerable comfort, all set in lovely grounds only a stone's throw from the village green and pub...oh and we keep hearing the lovely church bells sounding the hour!  I think our guests are going to love this house...

Life on The Edge...

Another architectural success in Southwold, with a contemporary style on both the inside and the outside - The Edge on Tibby's Triangle. Just moments from the shops, who can resist such a centrally located break?


A refreshing break for two, with a wonderful super-king bed, The Edge is spacious and modern, and you'll feel right at home here. Alex Tarry, director of Best of Suffolk, says "The Edge is all about contemporary style in a prime location, guests will be able to enjoy the modern interior and fittings whilst only being moments from the Adnams cafe and wine shop, High Street and of course the beach...Tibby's Triangle won an architectural award when it was designed and now it is finished, it has come to life in a wonderful way!"

Our favourite things about The Edge:
  • The bold, modern exterior
  • The luxurious super-king bed
  • A short walk from the sandy beach
  • The smart, well-equipped kitchen
